Marilyn was a woman full of joy, great faith, and strength with a sense of humor that was like no other. She was an animal lover, raised and showed champion dachshunds, and volunteered for FLAG in Goochland County. She was instrumental in the founding of The Dachshund Fancier Club of Central Virginia. Marilyn loved and nurtured members of Salem Baptist Church for many years cooking and serving meals for the various ministries of which the Women's Ministry held a special place in her heart. She sang in the choir, served in missions and on various committees in both Salem and Bonsack Baptist Churches where she was a member of both for many years. Marilyn retired from the Post Office in Crozier, VA after 25 years of service to the community where she loved her postal patrons calling them neighbors and friends. She had many wonderful memories of Crozier riding the beautiful Goochland countryside with friends from Locust Bend Stables and enjoying lunch at the North Pole Restaurant. She loved cooking and sharing meals, gardening, and serving her Lord Jesus Christ. Her greatest joy was her three girls, Sandy, Kathy, and Kendall.

She will be greatly missed by all those who knew her. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her memory to GoochlandCares Free Clinic and Family Services, 2999 River Road West, Goochland, VA 23063, or GoochlandCares.org.
